About this data
Waiting times come from DVSA table DRT122F, republished monthly on the second Wednesday. Addresses and coordinates come from the DVSA centre list behind the GOV.UK find a driving test centre service. Distances are straight-line, calculated from those coordinates. Closed centres are excluded. The DVSA list can lag the live GOV.UK finder, so confirm on GOV.UK before booking.
Which centres are listed. A centre is listed when DRT122F carries a median wait for it that is no more than three months behind the latest published month. The waiting series is what these pages are built around, so a centre without current figures would have nothing to say beyond its address — and a figure years out of date presented as today's is worse than none. The other 11 appear as soon as DVSA gives them numbers.
